The Carolina Panthers have only one blemish on their record all season – a Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons – and are riding high going into their Super Bowl 50 matchup with the Denver Broncos. That would be the Seattle Seahawks, with 8-1 odds.

Crisman says his favourite games were Super Bowl III, when the New York Jets upset the Baltimore Colts, and Super Bowl XXXVI, when his favourite team, the New England Patriots, won their first championship.
Osweiler’s fourth season in the National Football League was unlike any of the previous three.
The key to the Broncos’ defensive success in the AFC title game was the constant pressure they were able to mount on Brady. “A tremendous athlete that they’ve molded their offense around”. Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers had a surprisingly prolific offense this season, putting up over 500 points, and have answered every challenge so far.

That means that what Archie Manning was saying indicates that there could have been tampering from other teams or that the Broncos allowed Manning to shop himself around last offseason. Newton is effective at both passing and running.
The two of them combined for over 1,500 yards on the ground.
Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas lead the charge for the Broncos receiving corps with six touchdowns each.
Carolina’s defense is not getting as much attention, but they’re ranked 5th and make big plays off turnovers. Young gun and MVP candidate Newton will be taking on a legend in Manning.
“Some guys celebrate in different ways and they chose not to celebrate at all”, Woods said. Manning had the worst season of his long career, completing 198 passes for 2,249 yards and nine touchdowns. He certainly wouldn’t announce it. He hasn’t talked to me about it. It’s very possible he’s going to defer that and he’ll take some time, probably soon after the season, and kind of lay everything out.

Coleman, who started 15 games this season for the Panthers, didn’t let up in the playoffs. After leading the league in interceptions prior to his injury, Peyton Manning hasn’t thrown a single one in his three games back in the starting lineup. Manning has lost a step and is not Newton’s caliber anymore. And if you’re looking for the quarterback in this game who has the ability to go outside the box and do something wild and unexpected to break down an opposing defense who might be doing everything right… well, we know which of these two quarterbacks we are talking about.
